Product Description

“Love these shoes! I wear these from the gym, to work, to church, to the beach.
Great style and wearability!”  – Larry K.

The Z-Trail EV offers the perfect combination of lightweight protection, natural flexibility, durability, versatility, style and affordability. 

Is it the best barefoot hiking sandal? We think so!

WHAT MAKES THE Z-TRAIL EV THE ULTIMATE SPORTS SANDAL?

LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION THAT FEELS JUST RIGHT.

The Z-Trail EV features an updated 11mm FeelLite™ sole with a middle layer of TrailFoam™ and an updated dual chevron lug pattern that offers the best combination of comfort, protection, and trail-ready traction while still allowing you to bend, move, flex, and feel the terrain beneath your feet. 

At just 153 grams each for a men’s size 42, the Z-Trail EV remains just as lightweight and versatile as the original best-selling Z-Trail. 

MADE FROM EARTH & VEGAN-FRIENDLY MATERIALS.

The Z-Trail EV eliminates 70% of the unnecessary materials used in modern sports sandals – and because its soft, tubular quick-dry webbing is made from nylon sourced from recycled water bottles, it’s even better for the planet than before!

GOES ANYWHERE. GOES WITH ANYTHING.

Available in three colors, the new Z-Trail EV is ultra-capable yet stylish enough to accompany just about any look, so you can take anywhere from the trail to the boardwalk and everywhere in between. 

WE MAKE SANDALS SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Z-Trail EV.
 
Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.
 
All Xero Shoes feature a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and safely Feel the World® in total comfort.

We recommend ordering your usual size.

A voir dans le temps

Tient bien au pied une fois qu'on a trouvé le bon serrage, il faut d'ailleurs un peu de temps pour s'y faire. Léger, souple, très peu d'amorti, zéro drop. Bonne adhérence sur sec mais plutôt glissant sur surface humide un peu lisse (pavés, plaque en fer, roche lissée par l'eau, bois poli...) donc méfiance! Ce commentaire est rédigé après seulement deux semaines d'utilisation et sans les avoir testé en condition vraiment sportive donc à voir dans la durée !

Nice for dry/plain/civilized walking

I've hiked part of Camino de Santiago Portuguese (100+km) with these sandals. Bad: 1. Slippery when the path is a hard surface and wet (like rocks, stairs, etc) 2. Lose on foot leads to movement under pressure - you will get blisters if the path is downhill. It could be related since it leads to space between foot and sole, any small rock or branches might get between and make it uncomfortable. 3. Overall, for all open sandals or shoes - if you are tired or walking downhill, it is possible to get a branch to hurt your leg (I stepped on a dry small branch, and got upped part of the branch stuck in between the another foot toes. It was painful). Good: 1. Super light, fit small place in baggage. 2. Easy wash and fast dry 3. Nice looking Conclusion: If you experienced hiker, walking a lot, your feet are used to small damages - you will be fine. If you are a beginner or don't expose your feet a lot - better to find other shoes for hiking.

Barefoot experience, but...

I have not owned many sandals, so this might not be the objective review. I'm also new to barefoot footwear. Pluses: 1. Barefoot sandals - all benefits you might expect 2. Super light 3. Looking nice - I got some compliments that the sandals look handsome, etc Minuses: 1. The fixation on the foot mechanics - I'm spending considerably more time getting on and off sandals from my foot. Quite often, I have to lift them from the ground to use two hands to get velcro into the loop 2. The adjustment straps are losing position after time and/or pressure - I found myself tightening the middle straps to keep the sandals from loose 3. The back part is low to stop sliding off my feet in the scandal, and after long walks, it hurts my heels—probably a result of the first two items.

lovely

The first feeling was what an amesing sandal. It is so confortable and practical that you can use it all day long without any desire to take it off.
